1970s Mollie Parnis Ruffled Cerise Organdy Dress

color and cut Now is not the only time in history when designers borrowed so heavily in the past. In recent history, designers have conjured the 30s in the 70s, the 50s in the 80s and every other decade in the last five years. And sometimes, the more modern interpretations are better than the originals - yuo have to trust your own eye and hand. Mollie Parnis' cerise synthetic organdy dress that is so very Norma Shearer with all those frothy ruffles around the neck and shoulders. Cut like an hourglass until you get to the flared ruffled hem, is has a deep V neckline and matching organdy sash. And while this looks like a wrap, it isn't - it zips in back. Sexy without losing its tasteful innocence, this would be stunning with high Prada pink ombre pumps and a vintage Halston ivory bean clutch. Bust measures 36", waist 27" and length 58". Excellent condition. $420.00
